The 20th Birthday Celebrations Continue, Grab a Massive Discount on a .WEBSITE domain – Save £10

As a part of our big birthday year celebrations we are offering .WEBSITE domains at a massive discount.

Grab a .website domain name  for only £7.00 –  normally £17.100/pa – less than half price!

This is the  perfect choice for anyone who needs to get online with a short & memorable domain name that is recognized globally.

.WEBSITE is the first true generic domain to be launched in the new era of the internet. It is the perfect opportunity for individuals to find first-choice, short and memorable domain names that are truly generic with Infinite Potential.

A domain name adds credibility. Having your own domain adds professional credibility to your online presence. A generic address such as www.myisp.co.uk/mycompany  does not inspire the same level of confidence as www.mycompany.website could.  Having your own domain name shows you are available and ready to do business, or simply that you are online and serious about what you do.

The choice is yours, if you decide to register a domain name that reflects what you do, instead of your exact business name, you might draw hits from a search of that topic. For example, a sailing holiday company that registered sailing.website might get visitors looking for a holiday on the water.

If your domain name matches your company name, it reinforces your brand, making it easier for customers to remember and return. It will also be easier to win business via word of mouth because customers will remember your name and pass it along to friends and because its got the the funky .WEBSITE its easy to remember.

Lastly a domain name builds your brand. Having an online presence is possibly the most crucial element in building brand awareness and .WEBSITE  is one of the most cost effective, simplest ways to do it available.

7 Questions to ask yourself before you choose your new Host – History

Part 2 : History and Longevity 

Following on from last weeks introduction,  a good Managed Hosting Provider will have a strong team of experts available to help you every step of the way, along with a stable online presence.

Do you know how easy it is to set up a web hosting company?
Let’s put it this way – You can start up a web hosting company in less time than it takes to wait for a pizza to be delivered.
To prove the point, we have a Reseller Hosting Package which has been designed for these enterprising individuals and businesses!
But, because it’s so incredibly easy to set yourself up as web hosting company, you should really factor in how long a business has been around. Be sure to look carefully through the “About Us” section of your new potential web host to get a feel for how they operate. Are they hosting in the front and holidays in the rear office ? Do they only work with big business? Are they ready to help you grow as your online presence grows? These are all factors you should take into consideration.

Netcetera for example, has been around since 1996 and currently  host clients in over 75 countries, and been financially stable and growing year after year. So, we must be doing something right! In fact, most of our growth has come from customer referrals.

Netcetera Celebrates 20 Years Of Success

Over the last 20 years Netcetera has grown to become one of Europe’s leading Datacentre  services provider and 2016 will see the company celebrate 20 years of successful business, built on customer service, unrivalled technical support and competitive pricing.

Investment in new technology has enabled the business to remain at the forefront of a competitive market, and consistently maintain growth. Foundations based upon its use of technology, customer support and environmental commitment has made the company one of the most trusted and reliable Cloud providers in Europe.

With technology changing all the time, the business understands how important it is to be able to offer the best solutions on the best technology – and this is only possible through having a well trained up to date team and the ability to meet the exacting requirements of a diverse group of global clients.

After a £10 million investment the first hosting hall at The Dataport was opened in 2007, and it didn’t take long for Netcetera to attract global clients to the new facility.

Zero Carbon Hosting – Clean and Green!

Fast forward to 2013 and Netcetera signed an agreement to move onto a Green Energy Tariff. This made Netcetera one of only a few 100% green powered datacentres in  the UK.  

2015 – a year of expansion

The year began with the opening of a second hosting hall, Zone2, and later in the year the opening of a new Business Recovery Centre.  The new hosting hall has also been designed in such a way that enables the cool air to be directed exactly where it is needed meaning energy consumption is very efficient. This is another plus for businesses who consider energy usage as an important factor when choosing a hosting partner.

2016 – and the future

Looking ahead, 2016 will see Netcetera host a social media training day with Keren Lerner from Top Left Design, and host a business startup event including a Dragons Den style chance to get investment and help from Netcetera and some of the Islands best know business faces.

THANK YOU

Netcetera would like to say a big thank you to all of our clients, some of whom have been with the company since the day we opened. Without this continued support and trust the company wouldn’t be in the strong position it finds itself in today.

Come Celebrate with us!

We have put together some great offers to celebrate our 20th birthday, all of which are aimed at helping you to grow your own successful business over the coming months. Join us as we celebrate 2016 with some great deals and special offers. Grab yourself the chance to get some great deals before anyone else hears about them, all courtesy of Netcetera.

Netcetera’s PlanB Officially Open

Making your business shockproof has just become a whole lot easier since the opening of Netcetera’s planB. 

The business held an open evening for over 65 invited guests to launch DR.IM as well as the company’s new flagship Business Recovery Centre, planB. The new facility was officially opened by the Isle Of Man’s Chief Minister The Right Honourable Allan Bell, MHK.

The feedback from those of you who did manage to attend has been excellent.

It was interesting to hear that many of the businesses represented on the night had a Business Recovery Plan in place, just as interesting but a little concerning was to hear that some  hadn’t tested their plan on a regular basis neither examined whether their current plan offered value for money.

Guests  were given the opportunity to view first hand the fantastic new facility and find out a little more about the benefits of Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity with planB.

  • Modern onsite infrastructure
  • Secure location
  • Excellent FREE parking
  • Choice of workspace configurations
  • Hot-desks, Shared and Dedicated workspaces
  • Use of boardroom, kitchen and restroom
  • Friendly staff team with a can do attitude, to be there for you when you need them most.
  • 24/7 support
  • Rapid invocation

All of this is backed up by our 20 years of dedicated commitment towards giving our clients the best customer service and technical support available.

There are no negatives about planning ahead. Having a Recovery Plan from Netcetera can not only reduce your current outgoings but it can also safeguard your business’s future.

With Business Recovery being a necessity for many companies to maintain regulatory compliance the new facility was warmly welcomed by those present.

Having a planB from Netcetera gives your business a competitive edge should an occurrence take place that causes disruption, whether through a natural disaster like a fire or flood or through human error. Regardless of the situation you may find yourself in, planB can ensure it’s business as usual. PlanB gives you the ability to operate as normal, in a seamless manner, regardless of what disruptions your business may face.

Not only was the new Business Recovery Centre launch a huge success but the company also launched DR.IM, an exciting new recovery and IT Backup Solution. One of the most reliable, manageable and cost effective available on the market.

With DR.IM and Netcetera’s planB we have you covered, leaving you to get on with running your business.

FREE Business Continuity Setup

Businesses that operate in today’s competitive environment have to ensure seamless, reliable and effective business continuity in the event of any kind of outage that can cause disruption.  Failing to have a provision in place can lead to catastrophic damage.

Free Business Continuity Setup (3)

The financial, regulatory, legal and reputational risks of failing to plan for any such an occurrence are well documented. When thinking about business recovery it’s quite easy to be drawn into thinking “oh what’s the chance of an earthquake on the Isle of Man” but in reality the need to temporarily relocate staff is caused by much more mundane events such as burst pipes.

Business Continuity with Netcetera’s planB will give your business all the essentials needed to maintain operation through incidents of any kind : power failure – IT crashes – fire – flood – utility outage and human errors.

What do you get?

  • Shared or Dedicated Seats
  • Located outside of Douglas
  • Dedicated Account Manager
  • Close to airport and transport
  • Resilient Green Datacentre onsite
  • Dedicated 24/7 support
  • Secure onsite parking
  • Kitchen and rest area
  • PC, Telephone and Printers
  • Meeting Rooms
  • Storage
  • Guest Wifi

We have a limited number of seats in our new Business Recovery Centre that come with FREE setup, saving you £50.00 per seat on your path to recovery.

The Centre also has hotdesks available, with WiFi and access to the listed facilities at £20.00 per day.
